Looks familiar to me.

How about a clue - such as the size! Hosta pics can be very deceiving.

Wow! It's a beauty!

I know you've mentioned before that it is probably a tetraploid and that you have no idea of the parentage, so you have us all wondering, how the heck did you find this beauty? Did you turn it up while rock hunting?

Hey Chris,
Found this awesome plant growing among a bunch of my Love Pat hostas. So I figure it's possibly a sport or seedling of Love Pat, but not sure. In some ways it has some of the same characteristics, but in some ways different. Of course, Rhino Hide has the distinction of being the thickest leaved hosta of any that I've ever examined. Been growing it now for about 8 years, has remained stable throughout. Don

PS I'll post a pic of another one of my favorite sports in the next few days.

Rhino Hide withstands full sun without scorching. It grows well, but isn't as appealing. Don

Scorch test- Rhino Hide in full sun

Can you guess which hosta this is?
